1961 Alvis TD21 Drophead Coupe (DHC) For Sale

Every Alvis represents British motor engineering at its best. This superb example has a drophead coupe body styled by Carrosserie Hermann Graber in Bern, Switzerland and built by Park Ward in London.
In 1975, an Alvis Owners Club member visiting the UK for the club’s annual international gathering was so taken with this car that he bought it and took it back to the USA with him. There it remained until a foreign diplomat based in Washington bought it in 2009 and had it completely restored to a very high standard. When he was then posted to London, he brought the car with him but was unable to take it on to his next destination. I bought the car in December 2013 and it has had perfect reliability over the 5, 000 miles I have covered since then.
The smooth and flexible 3 litre engine coupled to a four speed with overdrive gearbox provides for effortless motorway cruising. Its traditional coil sprung and leather covered upholstery is astonishingly comfortable and the highly polished walnut dashboard is a joy to sit behind.
I have owned my three Alvis cars for some time and feel that I need to reduce this to two, so now is your opportunity to buy a dealer quality car at a private sale price
